I was reading through last year’s LMU thread and I don’t believe they allowed rescheduling. But you could always email Montana to check?
 
Also got an invite to interview yesterday! Will be interviewing at 10:30. Does anyone know how many people get the chance of being interviewed? So excited!

Last year’s thread said it was 1/3 of 1700 applicants total that got interviews. Don’t know the source on that though!

And I’m also interviewing at 10:30!
 
Does anyone have any idea how many people will be intervening each interview date? Like the 23rd for example since that’s the first scheduled date.
 
Don't want you to miss anything! If you read on LMU's portion of VMCAS under "additional required application materials" it does say to pay a processing fee.

I'm seeing some places that says LMU requires a supplemental application, but I can't find it anywhere. I paid the supplemental fee from the link on VMCAS, but I can't seem to find the supplemental application anywhere???

I remember last year they didn’t have a supplemental app just a fee. I’m applying again this year.

How long after you submitted your application did you get a response from LMU? I've received emails from all the other schools I applied except LMU.

I submitted August 19th and didn’t hear anything from LMU until I received my interview invite.
 
Can someone confirm that there is ONLY a supplemental fee & NO supplemental application other than what was on VMCAS? I was just re-reading last year's thread and have entered a slight panic. No portal this year it seems?

Last year all i had to do was go to their application page and just pay the fee. If you look on the VMCAs application at the very bottom of the questions for LMU it has a link for the supplemental “application”, but it’s just a fee.
 
Just a friendly reminder to all that apply that LMU believes in racist propaganda and has Fox News playing all over campus; yet they complain about their diversity? Hmmm...here’s a clue...turn that crap off. Or at least turn on CNN next to it so the propaganda is fair. Anyone that wants to ask me anything you’re welcome to message me.

Edit: So I spoke with the dean at DCOM and he gave the students access to the tv’s in the student center (he is awesome). Fox has disappeared all on its own and replaced with lots of sports...usually. The CVM still has on Fox and won’t change it, but the TV screen is easily dimmed out. It’s not the same at it being turned off, but it’s progress!

For those of you that got interviews did they email you to set up any kind of portal before hand or let you know they received your application or were you just told about the interview?

Last year they just sent an email about the interview.
 
How did everyone’s interview go last week?

I thought it went well and the school is very pretty! I was a little wary about how small the town is because I’m originally from a city of 1+ million and live in a 50k city currently, which feels dinky. However, husband and I went hiking that afternoon and it was beautiful. We miss mountains like crazy. Between the overall feel I got at the school and appeal of the surrounding area (mountains/hiking, not so much the town), I think LMU could be a good fit for me. I just wish we didn’t have to wait so long for decisions 🙂

Also, @asch97 was in my interview group, so that was cool! I think @AngusCattle22 was as well??

Same! @Sarahb07 So excited! Can't wait to see the campus. Do any past (Sept) interviewees have any advice? Where did you guys stay? Was it a relaxed or more rigid interview? @EngrSC @asch97 @AngusCattle22

We stayed at the Sleep Inn & Suites in Middlesboro KY. I work for an LMU grad (she was in their first graduating class) and she said it’s the nicest hotel in the area. And I will confirm, very nice hotel! It’s ~10 minutes from the main campus in Harrogate and ~15 minutes from the vet school facilities in Ewing.

For the interview day itself they have you arrive no more than 15 minutes before your scheduled time. You’re in a group of 12 interviewees. First you get an overview of the school then you’re interviewed twice for 13 minutes each with a different person/panel and have a 2 minute break in between. After that you get a pretty thorough tour of the campus by a few students then have the opportunity to ask questions in a Q&A session with a couple 3rd year students. In total I think we were there for 3 hours.

Just be yourself during the interview. Both my interviewers were very nice and easy to talk to 🙂 My interview was in the morning so we went hiking in the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park that afternoon. Highly recommend if you have the time!
